Problem with Touch Pro 2

[ETphoneHOME]

Hello fellow ppcgeekers. I encountered a little hardware problem with my Touch Pro 2 today. My phone keeps shutting off by itself so I traced the problem back to my battery. The battery itself is still good (I think), the problem starts when my battery is pushed into the phone. It will work fine as long as the back cover is off. Once I slide the back cover back on, the phone will refuse to turn on. I realize that if I push the left side of the battery against the phone, it will reset it self. Any ideas? I really need my phone tomorrow and would rather not carry it around without a backcover. However, I will be bringing it into a Sprint repair center if I cannot get this problem fixed myself. Comments, ideas, answers and questions are welcome. Thanks.
